Best Training Split: PUSH PULL LEGS for Beginners | How to Start
This video explains how to start a PUSH PULL LEGS routine for beginners and why it’s the best training split to build muscle. I talk about what the PUSH PULL LEGS routine is and how it’s different from other training splits.
I came up with a simple system to plan and track your workouts to help you stay consistent with your weight lifting routine. This video shows you step by step how to create a workout plan that fits your schedule, how to make adjustments as you go, and different ways to customize your plan as you become more advanced.
Because it’s a three day split, a PUSH PULL LEGS program allows you to train each muscle frequently enough (twice a week), while also giving each muscle time to recover for the next workout (at least 72 hours).
I’ve been following a PUSH PULL LEGS training split for the past few years and got great results from it. Not only do I think it’s the best workout routine for beginners to build muscle, I also think it’s one of the most versatile and simple routines you can follow.

Haha for sure, gotta get those days in
Every other source I've seen talks about PPL in a Monday-Friday manner. As dumb as it sounds, hearing it in a seven day manner instead has opened up a lot of possibilities in my mind. Definitely subscribing, great video
I just started a PPL split this month in a new gym and this really helped me since they are closed on Sundays, so thanks a lot!
I’ve always thought the gym would be much harder than what it is, your videos have helped me understand it’s not as complicated I made it out to be, much love bro ❤
I absolutely love how detailed this whole video was!
Awesome video!!! Thank you. I just started a membership at my local gym and it's very overwhelming looking at all the equipment. This method gives me hope and I think you explained it perfectly. Thank you ❤
wow! all day I was searching for something like this. As to how to organize a PPL in this manner,. Great video and thank you for posting it. Very well explained and very good tips.
genuinely appreciate this video I been looking for videos and this pretty much summed up all my questions.
Or even if you schedule 4 working days - Monday/Push, Tuesday/Pull, Wednsday/X, Thursday/Legs, Fraiday/Push, Saturday/X, Sunday/X, (then next Monday/Pull, so you basically rotate it) - you also hit the 2 days/week per muscle group
Explained very well, having my own small home gym in the garage. Started doing that method myself although was adding shoulders to Leg day, so will move it back to Chest/Tri's day and go from there. Also now going to go buy a whiteboard to plan it all out...Thanks :)
Wow this helped so much, I’ve just got back into weight training starting a 3 day full body, but this video has definitely persuaded me to start a PPL split. Thanks so much for the great info

I been doing this split for years but find me working for almost 2 hrs trying to hit all the exercises for that muscle group , like I did push and hammered out alot of shoulders first since my chest is big already , I put in more volume but do light chest work, thanks for breaking it down, this I will try and start doing but find myself wanting to do alot with all the pre-workout supplements, but 2 hrs is too much for my age of 47, I want to cut it down to 1 and a half at least, thanx again and have a blessed day

I tend to do full body workouts at least 2-3 times a week since I’m busy with my thesis thus i need more recovery days. I miss training ppl but it wasn’t idea to me in the long run.
@mindbodyprime

Nothing wrong with doing full body. For hypertrophy (muscle building) I think it’s better to hit the muscle harder especially if you’re getting more advanced, so something like push pull legs allows for more volume. But since you need more recovery days full body sounds like a good fit
Well said bro💪💪💪💪🤩🤩❤️🥳🥳
Great video! I just have one question about the schedule, is it still good if i make my schedule on workouts on certain days of the week? Like having push days every Wednesday. Ex: Sunday- rest Monday- leg day Tuesday- rest Wednesday- push day Thursday- pull day Friday- rest Saturday- rest
Thankyou so much explained it well just one question why is it three days on and one day off i thought you need a rest day after every workout?
Great video and your voice 👌

I get confused sometimes like what would lateral raises be considered as? They don't push, or pull really... How do I figure out which workouts fall into what category?

@@mindbodyprime Thanks for replying. I watched your part 3 video with the each day activities but i find it out pretty advanced for beginner like me. because when i do the dips on push day it's pretty hard for me. maybe you could make routine videos for beginners with the push pull leg workout routines 🙌
How would i do this If I don't go gym on weekends because of the gym pass that I bought ? Also I'm new to gym and thus don't feel it is worth to spend more for the all day pass as I still have classes. I usually try to go 3 times a week early in the morning before going to school . . . Great video btw
What are the best workouts on the Push =Pull = Leg ? Also how many do we do on the push and pull and leg?
Would you consider lower back a "Push" muscle. The way I'm thinking is if I use a back extension cable machine... I'm pushing backward instead of pulling the weight towards me? Please let me know if I have this correct.
Whats a good work out for legs if i only can workout at home and only have a bench bar and dumbbells?
Uh. What if you wanna throw core in there? Would you recommend adding it in addition to push and pull days? Or have it as a separate day entirely?
What do you think about having 2 rest days in a row. Using Saturday and Sunday off.
Hey whatabout abs/hinge? A lot of sources mention Push Pull Legs Hinge (Abs/Core)
As a beginner at the gym can do the PPL cycle once per week? I don't think I can commit to a 5 day schedule right now.
Legendary. Thanks for all this information. Quick question, what if you only have 3 days to workout would you do push, pull, legs over the week. So basically muscle groups only get trained once a week…
@mindbodyprime
Жыл бұрын
you're welcome! if you only have 3 days per week, I would actually do full body 3x/week or an upper/lower hybrid and try to spread out the work evenly between each muscle group. For example, Monday I would do heavy upper body as the main workout with one or two leg exercises at the end. Wednesday I would do full body evenly and go a little lighter on everything. Friday I would do heavy lower body as the main workout with one or two upper body exercises at the end. Just as an example, good question

I’m going to make a push pull legs part 2 video, but to answer your question I think a good way to fit in cardio would be on your rest days. So if you’re doing: three days on, one day rest, two days on, one day rest in that order, you’re doing cardio either once or twice per week on your rest days.
Can i also do it without a restday on thursday but only on sunday or would that put to much fatique on my muscles?
Can I use this routine if I’m experienced?
Would it matter if I put both my rest days on Sunday and Saturday every week?
What if I do long runs on alternate days ? Would that slow down my muscle growth or have any negative impact?
Thank u so much but i have a question Im skinny, im 190 cm 74 kg Do PPL split work on beginners?
How manu chest,shoulder tricep per workout? Is it okay to do 6-8 each?
Push, pull and legs dosen't include any abs exercises so do you do anything for abs and are you on a calorie surplus or a calorie deficit?
